Do you live in an area where there is a lot of access to cy products?
I wouldn’t really know about switching since I’ve kept it my whole life but if there aren’t the options around like chocolate etc it might be very hard for them

Yes. We can get basically anything. But we may not buy as much of it because it’s more expensive. And also, they know you can’t compare anything to a Reese’s bar or Breuer’s ice cream  also we buy a snack at Aldi called Swiss rolls. They like that, can’t find it in chalav Yisroel. Maybe I’ll just get for them to take to school but not way in the house as a way to transition

For myself I started gradually. I’d buy CY for DH and the kids but out of the house I bought what I wanted and eventually I gave that up. But I needed to slowly get used to it.

Just do it yourself and let the kids make their own decision

Does most of your community keep CY? Do most of your kids' classmates and friends keep it?

It’s split. Many do and many don’t.

In that case, I think resentment is more likely if you force them. I'd strongly consider making it something that you and your husband keep, but letting your kids do their own thing out of the home. They may gradually grow to prefer it, or not.
Also, is this just a one-off, or do you see it as part of a process of growth? It can be very difficult for kids when they feel like their parents are periodically getting stricter in what seem like arbitrary ways.

So dinner etc will be chalav yisroel but they can have their regular snacks. Seems like a simple solution to me

Right but I’m buying the food. Definitely not mandating it at friends houses or outside. Just what I’m bringing into the home (school snacks).
No we aren’t getting stricter. We are always growing but growing doesn’t equal stricter. But this is something that we both value in our home

What do you mean? What regular snacks? School snacks? So then I’m buying chalav stam snacks which will be in my house.

In that case, try to find some new exciting pareve or CY snacks or dessert recipes to have in abundance at home to compensate. They don't have to be the same as the cholov stam stuff, just tasty and exciting. There is a lot of creative kosher candy and stuff out there these days. Good luck!

Why can’t you have chalav stam snacks in your house? Just you and DH don’t eat them. I really don’t see the issue

Right, because it’s a chumrah for you and your husband. So you won’t eat the things you don’t want to eat but your children can
